Heidi was born in Sydney but calls the Sunshine State home, as she has spent most of her life in Sunny Queensland. She understands that coming to the dentist might not be a trip many people look forward to, and so she aims to make people feel welcome and safe by taking time to listen to their concerns and communicating with them. Heidi values the importance of prevention so that people can enjoy their lives without the interruption of dental pain. However, she also understands that taking care of your teeth can be difficult and she will be there to help and look after you with gentle, quality dental care.
She finds it most rewarding when she sees her patients who feared the dentist leave the clinic with a smile on their face, feeling relaxed and happy to visit the dental clinic again.
Heidi has a passion for volunteering and has spent alot of her time helping communities who are not able to access healthcare. Heidi loves being at Viva Family Dental because it really is a family atmosphere and we are all here to look after you with quality dental care.
